The awards were hosted by Jonny Garrett and Brad Evans from The Craft Beer Channel.

Jonny, who was also on the judging panel, said: “I was blown away by some of the entries into this year’s business awards and it was really tough to whittle down.

“The innovation, variation and commitment so clear in most of the entries was inspiring. We’re lucky to have such amazing people and businesses in our industry.”
